<p>Hi, so I really want to get a job over the summer for some spending money. I would earn $2000-3000. I will be a freshmen at a private college that uses FAFSA and CSS in fall. Will this job reduce my financial aid? Would it be advised that I spend what I earn so my college won't cut my aid because I'd have like $2500 in a bank account (liquid assets) after working?</p>
